What is Preferred Patron?

Preferred Patron is a customer loyalty and retention platform aimed at single-location businesses through large multi-location and franchise brands, spanning restaurants, retail, and other service businesses. It combines a points and rewards loyalty engine with a built-in CRM, plus fully integrated email and SMS marketing so businesses do not need to sync a separate mailing list. Features include automated welcome and birthday messages, segmented campaigns, interactive inbound SMS keywords, and an AI message assistant powered by OpenAI for drafting on-brand communications.

Pricing starts at 29 dollars a month for a Small Business plan covering up to 5,000 members with no long-term contract, scaling to a Growth plan at 199 dollars a month and an Enterprise plan starting at 10,000 dollars a month for large, multi-location programs, both requiring an annual agreement billed monthly. A one-time 500 dollar setup fee applies to Growth and Enterprise plans, and the company states there are no transaction or redemption fees on any plan.
